Hades parents are Cronus and Rhea. Whenever there was a child born Cronus ate them so they didn't overthrow him. Although Zeus defeated Cronus for them all to escape. Zeus then over threw Cronus and become the god of everything.
In the Spring the Earth becomes more lively because Persephone (Demeter's daughter) returns. In the Fall the Earth starts to die because Persephone returns to the underworld and Demeter becomes sad.
Cerberus is Hades dog who guards the entrance to the underworld and keeps the living out. Cerberus is also the offspring of Echidna and Typhon.
Hades was depicted as a dark bearded man much like Zeus. He also holds a bird tipped scepter.
Hades Roman name is Pluto. He was given this name during the Roman empire.
Hades owned all things precious in the ground. This included every piece of gold, silver, and all the gems. This was because he's the god of the underworld.
The Cyclopes gave Hades a helmet that made the wearer invisible. This was because they were grateful for their release.
Hades had a few other Olympian brothers and sisters. They were Zeus, Demeter, and Hermes. Also all their parents were Cronus and Rhea.
Hades was said to be very solitary. He often wouldn't talk with his siblings. This is why the underworld was a good fit for Hades to govern.
Hades is typically regarded as an infertile god. This means he is unable to produce offspring. People say this because he is the God of the underworld and by his nature he would be incapable of creating life. People often believe that it was Zeus who impregnated Persephone and not Hades.

Next is a picture of Cerberus. Cerberus is Hades dog who has three heads. Cerberus is also the guardian of the underworld it is in charge of keeping the living out.
Finally is a picture of Cronus and Rhea they are Hades parents and are also parents to 5 other gods. Cronus ate all of his children, but would be defeated and overthrown from his throne by Zeus.
I wanted my music to sound essentially like how humans consider death. I also wanted to show peoples different opinions on death such as people being sad about death, people being fearful of death, and people being happy about death.
Explanation of colors For colors I wanted my page to be essentially red for two reasons. Often when people think about the underworld they'll instantly think of fire.
